A 30-year-old Apochi (surname withheld) has died after
drinking substance believed to be rat poison in Otukpo area of Benue State.

WWW.IDOMAVOICE.COM exclusively
gathered that the victim, who is married with children; had stormed Otukpo, Sunday
evening demanding to see some security men, saying that some spirits were frustrating his life.

A family source hinted WWW.IDOMAVOICE.COM
that the dejected-looking Apochi, a native of Ohimini on his arrival in Otukpo demanded
to see security men but there was nobody on ground to attend to him.

“He came to our area and said he was looking for security
men that some spirits were chasing him. We were wondering what he wanted to do
with them. It was that process that he collapsed and we rushed him to a
hospital at Upu road in Otukpo where it was discovered that he had taken rat
poison. The doctors later found the container of the poisonous substance in his
pocket. They gave him oil to dilute the poison but it was too late. He died in
the hospital,” an eyewitness told WWW.IDOMAVOICE.COM

However, another insider hinted our reporter that the late
Apochi, who is an ardent follower of a popular lawmaker from his constituency did
not tell anybody what he that led to the spirits chasing him.

His corpse has since been take back to community for burial.

When this reporter contacted the Benue State PPRO, Moses
Yamu Monday morning for comment, he simply said, “I don’t have that report yet.”
